COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE REVIEW
Should Worcester have more parish councils?
Should there be a Worcester town council?
Should Warndon Villages and St Peter's Parish Council remain as they are?
▶️
How Worcester residents are represented at a local level is changing, and Future Worcester is aimed at gathering your views on how the city should be governed after 2028.
Worcestershire as a whole will move to new unitary council arrangements in April of that year. Worcester City Council will no longer exist, and its services will be run by another – much bigger – authority.
Alongside that process there is an opportunity to create a new, local parish or town council, or more than one such new local council.
▶️
This is an opportunity to ensure that Worcester’s historic identity will continue.
Future Worcester will look at options including whether our city should have:
a single town council for the whole city,
a town council just for the currently unparished areas,
several smaller parish councils based on neighbourhood identity.
Your views will help shape how Worcester is represented locally for decades to come.
Phase one of Future Worcester runs until Monday 15 June.
